Premji Amaran to quit acting?
- IndiaGlitz, [Tuesday,August 19 2008]
Premji Gangai Amaran has been assisting his cousin Yuvan Shankar Raja for quite some time composing music for films. He tried his hand at acting with his brother's directorial venture 'Chennai 600028' and won many accolades for a performance that was loaded with humor.
Following this success he was offered to play comedian in many films. Unfortunately, all the other roles were miniscule in nature and are highly forgettable.
Despite the fact that Premji is playing a pivotal role in his brother's second venture 'Saroja', he seems to have made a decision to quit acting and concentrate on composing music full time. (This notwithstanding the fact that he's getting acting offers every other day). He is currently working as music director for two films.
'Athey Neram Athey Idam' that stars Jai and Vijayalakshmi will bring to light Premji's music compositions. He has also committed himself to a project named 'Pookada Ravi' produced by Radaan Films.
Premji is known to be a funny person not just in front of the camera but also off it. When he was asked recently if he desired to get in shape to sport a 6-pack ab, he retorted quickly by saying, 'no 6-pack .only 18-pack' with obvious reference to the fat he's planning to accumulate in the abdomen area.
Is Premji serious about quitting acting? We'll have to wait and see and be sure this is not yet another funny gimmick from him.
